Ever wonder what exactly a county does? Curious to tour a hospital, learn about sustainability efforts or meet a K-9? Want the chance to ask the Department of Public Works long-burning questions about infrastructure and sewer maintenance?

If so, then the County of San Mateo has the place for you. In September, Civics 101 kicks off its free nine-week series of courses centered around County government and is currently recruiting for the 2016 session. Participants learn about local government, meet local officials and tour County facilities. Many former graduates have used Civics 101 as a springboard to leadership roles in their own communities and to serve in important roles on County and regional boards and commissions.

Civics 101 is open to individuals 18 and older who live or work in San Mateo County.

Classes will be held Wednesday evenings from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. between Sept. 14 and Nov. 9 in locations throughout San Mateo County. One or two Saturday morning sessions from 10 a.m. to noon will also be held on dates to be determined.

The 2016 schedule is subject to change but topics include: a County overview, the justice system, community services, the Health System and San Mateo Medical Center tour, a K-9 demonstration, the Human Services Agency and tour of the Shoreway Environmental Center, budget overview, countywide initiatives and behind-the-scenes with supervisorial staff. The academy concludes with a sit-down dinner and graduation ceremony.

Applications will be accepted through Aug. 23, 2016. Seating is limited and early submission is encouraged. The application form and more information, including exact class locations, are available at http://cmo.smcgov.org/civics-101-academy or by contacting Eric Forgaard, civic engagement and public outreach specialist, at eforgaard@smcgov.org or 650-363-4657.

This is a notice that there will be a lane closure in conjunction with the Rock Slope Improvement Project on the west slope of “Ice House Hill” beginning September 2016 through December 2016. The project involves removing rock slope debris at the base of the slope, scaling loose blocks from the slope, and installing a soldier pile retaining wall and wire mesh slope netting with anchors on the rock face east of Bayshore Blvd, south of the intersection between Bayshore Blvd and Guadalupe Canyon Parkway.

Please expect general construction noise during the hours of work from 8am to 5pm. One northbound lane on Bayshore Blvd adjacent to the work limits will remain closed for the duration of project with one through lane to remain open at all times. See attached site map for your reference. Should you have any further question please don’t hesitate to contact us or the City.
